1899 Map of Germantown

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Philadelphia and its northern townships appear in high detail during a period of rapid suburban and industrial expansion. The map illustrates the dense street grids of neighborhoods like Germantown and Frankford, contrasting with the sprawling estates and agricultural lands of Montgomery County. A sophisticated transportation network is visible, dominated by the Philadelphia and Reading R.R. and the Pennsylvania R.R., which facilitated the movement of people and goods between the city and surrounding settlements like Hatboro and Ambler.
